Tim Geithner Made $400,000 For 3 Speeches: Report

It seems Tim Geithner doesn't have to be employed by Wall Street to make a Wall Street salary.

The Financial Times reports that since leaving his job at the Treasury Department in January, the former treasury secretary is raking in the cash speaking at Wall Street companies, taking home six-figure paychecks per speech.

This spring, Geithner was paid $200,000 for two speaking events at private equity firms Blackstone and Warburg Pincus, according to the Financial Times. He made another $200,000 for speaking at a Deutsche Bank conference in June.

Some have speculated that Geithner, who helped orchestrate the bailout of large Wall Street banks during the financial crisis, would take a job in finance -- a move Geithner said is “extremely unlikely,” according to New York Magazine.

Others think Geithner may be plotting a return to the government, perhaps as chairman of the Federal Reserve.
